yup, and set a fine example

(it wasn't his fault how I turned out)

Yes,all the time.

Dad was always strict but I understand him now!🤔

Yes. He and our mother have been there for us all of our lives. My youngest sister and her daughter still live with him. Pop and I talk all the time.

yes he is still there even

Yes my biological father aka Dad was there till I moved out.

Yes, my father was very present when I was growing up....and he was very present in my life until he passed away when I was 40. He's still frequently very much in my thoughts.

Well... he was an adult male, with XY chromosomes... though I wouldn't consider him a "father".

Father was in and out due to his own issues. Though I had many surrogates. Shared a two family house with my Grandparents growing up. My Brother and Grandfather were huge inspirations. My 4 Uncles poured into me as well. All were shining examples of manhood I carry with me to this day.

Yes, he's cool af but I'm not super close to him

Yes. But he had heart problems and passed when I was ten. My mother never saw another man.

Sadly yes.

No, thank god. He was tormenting his other family.

Yes he was there, I have a lot of memories of him and he was doing two jobs to keep everything running.

There's always the other side though, how he was doing everything to just not be home with us, how when he was home he was either exhausted, drunk, or both.

Only every so often when i was little but i'm glad he was gone. I think i turned out better for not having him around. He keeps trying to have a "relationship" with me now that he is ill, but i'm not really interested. i DID however have other older male humans who unofficially adopted me a few times.

No, never met him.

I mean barely but yes

My dad never did a chromosome test, so IDK if he would count.

Part of it ...I use that loosely

He was " there" but not there at the same time

Then he got really sick and died when I was 15
